A Lot of Small Stack Grinding

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

The turbo nature of this tournament has left many players with a 20 big blind stack. Zachary Goldberg was in that spot and re-raised all in over a 10,000 open. While his opponent was thinking, he asked Goldberg "will you show me if I fold?" He got no answer and let his hand go and Goldberg didn't oblige, sending his cards into the muck.

Anderson on a Heater

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Calvin Anderson
Calvin Anderson

With four top 20 finishes, including one final table, Calvin Anderson has had a great run at this year's series so far. If his heater continues as it has done over the last 40 minutes, he will have no trouble repeating that success. He has won a slew of pots that have taken him to over 10 times the starting stack and was closing in on 500,000 chips after getting paid on the river when he had the nut flush.

He did lose a flip in the next hand though with pocket-eights versus a short-stack's ace-king hit on a {4-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{6-Hearts}. The all-in player seemed relieved to have broken the pattern, shaking his head and laughing as he said "someone had to put a stop to that s***...ridiculous."
